[09:23] <user___> Un français ?
[10:49] <simpleuser1> I just made a dist-upgrade and now every time the screen of my laptop goes black (screensaver) there’s a prompt to check my password… Any idea? The only option in power management is about activating the screensaver (I disabled it and nothing changed). No other option. Any idea?
[13:52] <holstein> simpleuser1: i use the setting, specifically, for locking the screen
[14:52] <B24> I have 2 wifi signals indicators. how to fix it ?
[14:53] <holstein> B24: maybe you have 2 running nm-applets?
[14:56] <B24> Maybe.. i dont know.. I have it in autostart because it was the only way to make it works when i start up.
[14:57] <holstein> B24: ok.. check and see how many nm-applets you have.. drop the one from the "autostart" since, it seems, one is being started as it should be (like, a fix was applied) and you no longer need the added one
[14:57] <B24> there was an update to fix it ? i tought it cud be.
[14:58] <holstein> B24: im not saying specifically there was.. im saying, *if* there was, then, i would expect to see 2, as you are.. so, test.. see if you have 2 running, then, drop the one you added to autostart
[14:58] <holstein> *or*, just go ahead and drop the one from autostart, and reboot, and see if you only have one, as intended and preferred
[14:59] <B24> I will try to reboot.
[15:04] <b24> It is ok now.. i have only one nm-applet.
[15:20] <simpleuser1> holstein: Yep, and I don’t have this setting.
[15:21] <simpleuser1> Can’t find anything about locking the screen.
[15:21] <simpleuser1> Found !
[15:21] <simpleuser1> (I think)
[15:21] <simpleuser1> It’s the Light-Locker settings
[15:31] <dj_beirut> Hi.. i have to network cards in my computer. i have changed the mac address for one of the cards and i want to do some other changes that i want done on startup like:  echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth1/force_igmp_version i don't want to do that manually. is there a way to make that done automatically on startup?
[16:46] <dj_beirut> anyone?
[16:46] <rafaellaguna> me :D
[16:47] <dj_beirut> Hi.. i have to network cards in my computer. i have changed the mac address for one of the cards and i want to do some other changes that i want done on startup like:  echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth1/force_igmp_version i don't want to do that manually. is there a way to make that done automatically on startup?
[16:47] <rafaellaguna> every command you want can be added to startup process
[16:48] <rafaellaguna> what Lubuntu version do you have?
[16:48] <dj_beirut> xbmcbuntu
[16:48] <dj_beirut> it's built on lubuntu
[16:48] <rafaellaguna> yes, the media server
[16:48] <dj_beirut> yes
[16:49] <rafaellaguna> do you have an app called "Default applications for LXSession"?
[16:50] <dj_beirut> i don't know it's all in terminal.
[16:50] <rafaellaguna> or open a terminal and type "lxsession-default-apps"
[16:51] <dj_beirut> i don't have x i ssh to the box
[16:51] <rafaellaguna> you dont have X? how do you run apps?
[16:52] <dj_beirut> xbmc starts automatically when the machine starts. no keyboard no mouse. just a remote control. and the machine is at home and i am at work so i just ssh to it
[16:53] <rafaellaguna> can you access to a folder inside its home there?
[16:53] <dj_beirut> i can access all folders
[16:54] <rafaellaguna> nice
[16:55] <rafaellaguna> you must edit ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart and put there the commands
[16:56] <rafaellaguna> just the command, no # or @ prefixes
[16:56] <dj_beirut> bash: cd: /root/.config/lxsession/Lubunt: No such file or directory
[16:57] <rafaellaguna> if it's Lubuntu it may read it. if not found, just create it (typed "Lubunt"?)
[17:00] <dj_beirut> I created the file. how can i verify if it reads it or not?
[17:00] <rafaellaguna> rebooting :D
[17:02] <dj_beirut> [ Error writing /root/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart: No such file or directory
[17:02] <rafaellaguna> maybe the folder doesn't exist too
[17:02] <rafaellaguna> please, make a "ls /root/.config/lxsession"
[17:03] <dj_beirut> ls: cannot access /root/.config/lxsession: No such file or directory
[17:03] <rafaellaguna> can you tell me your version? 10.04?
[17:03] <dj_beirut> Linux MediaServer 3.16.0-031600rc2-generic #201406220135 SMP Sun Jun 22 05:36:21 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[17:05] <rafaellaguna> please, wait, checking...
[17:06] <rafaellaguna> there's another autostart folder: ~/.config/autostart/
[17:07] <rafaellaguna> it works for every environment (Gnome, KDE, etc)
[17:07] <dj_beirut> just rebooted.. give e a sec
[17:14] <simpleuser1> Ok, unchecking light-locker did not remove the screen locking… F*CK YOU Lubuntu.
[17:15] <rafaellaguna> it happens to me too, they're working on it
[17:15] <rafaellaguna> it's not a Lubuntu bug, it's a LockScreen bug (Fedora and OpenSuse have it too)
[17:15] <simpleuser1> Oh?
[17:15] <simpleuser1> Shit.
[17:15] <rafaellaguna> yup
[17:15] <simpleuser1> Thanks rafaellaguna.
[17:16] <rafaellaguna> you're welcome
[17:16] <simpleuser1> Well, F*CK YOU LockScreen then.
[17:16] <rafaellaguna> :D
[17:21] <rafaellaguna> sorry, not Fedora. ArchLinux uses LightDM
[17:38] <rafaellaguna> dj_beirut, went fine?
[17:40] <dj_beirut> nope... didn't come back up for some reason
[17:40] <rafaellaguna> lookm, I found this on AskUbuntu: http://askubuntu.com/questions/209650/autostart-xbmc-at-boot
[17:40] <rafaellaguna> it may help you more than me ;)
[17:41] <dj_beirut> i got bigger problems now! :P i gotta figure out why it didn't come back up. i rebooted it with reboot -f
[17:42] <rafaellaguna> that's beyond my skills, sorry :(
[18:32] <SuperHiggins> Hello everyone. Would anybody here be able to help me with a networking issue on my lubuntu install? I just upgraded the hardware but I'm using the same installation as a previous machine, and since the upgrade i have been unable to connect to the internet whatsoever
[18:34] <SuperHiggins> unfortunately google has been unable to assist me, since my problem appears to not correlate to any other help topic i've seen, and to be honest i'm not very experienced with networking issues.
[18:34] <rafaellaguna> have you tried AskUbuntu' sometimes it's better that Google
[18:36] <SuperHiggins> i have looked a bit but the questions i found were more focused on how to connect to the internet... i didn't really see anything pertaining to installs that were unable to connect, or at least nothing that had the same issues as mine
[18:37] <rafaellaguna> maybe you'll have to re-adjust manually the settings for the new net card
[18:37] <rafaellaguna> but sure you've already tried that with nm-applet, no?
[18:37] <SuperHiggins> uh, no i've never heard of that
[18:38] <rafaellaguna> it's the network applet in the panel
[18:38] <rafaellaguna> you may see a double arrow or, if you updated recently the artwork, a connected couple of computers
[18:38] <SuperHiggins> i'm running command line :S
[18:39] <rafaellaguna> but you'd have desktop sometimes, don't you? :D
[18:39] <SuperHiggins> umm... i didn't install a GUI shell :S
[18:39] <SuperHiggins> it's a command-line only machine i use as a personal web and file server
[18:40] <rafaellaguna> it's easier to manage networks if you that applet, I have no idea how to do it via command line
[18:40] <SuperHiggins> can i install the GUI temporarily without internet?
[18:40] <rafaellaguna> you may install lubuntu-core and nm-applet packages, not too heavy
[18:40] <rafaellaguna> oh no, right, you can't
[18:41] <rafaellaguna> but if you have a livecd you can test it, memory the settings (IP, mask, route, etc) and put it via terminal on your normal session
[18:41] <SuperHiggins> good point
[18:41] <SuperHiggins> i think i'll try that
[18:42] <SuperHiggins> oh um would you be able to clarify something else?
[18:42] <rafaellaguna> anyway, have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkConfigurationCommandLine/Automatic
[18:43] <rafaellaguna> of course, tell me
[18:43] <SuperHiggins> whenever i shut down or reboot
[18:43] <SuperHiggins> i recieve a text query that says "Give root password for maintenance (or type Control-D to continue)"
[18:44] <SuperHiggins> if i press Control-D, it seems to hang on the shutdown after a while and i have to manually turn it off. And well, I haven't set a root password on this install
[18:44] <rafaellaguna> because you need to use "sudo reboot" or "sudo halt", a user can't switch off nothing
[18:44] <SuperHiggins> oh i see.
[18:44] <rafaellaguna> Ubuntu uses "fake" root passwords
[18:45] <SuperHiggins> if i shut the computer down manually after it hangs it wont damage my install right?
[18:45] <rafaellaguna> there's a user who have root privileges (the first one during the setup) and there's no root really
[18:45] <rafaellaguna> I do sometimes ;)
[18:46] <rafaellaguna> but it's not good for the hard disk, if do it it will appear the disk check app sometimes
[18:46] <rafaellaguna> like that scandisk for windows :D
[18:47] <SuperHiggins> oh right, i dont have a CD drive in here anymore haha... forgot about that. the new case couldn't fit it. well i'll use the command line network config
[18:47] <SuperHiggins> hopefully it works, my friends have been waiting for me to put the teamspeak server back up haha
[18:47] <rafaellaguna> you should install a full Lubuntu desktop with an USB stick
[18:47] <rafaellaguna> I hope so, good luck :D
[18:48] <SuperHiggins> thanks! yeah i installed CLI because the original desktop i had it on was pretty old so i did it to save memory and cpu usage
[18:49] <rafaellaguna> I'm the Artwork maintainer for Lubuntu Desktop artwork. It's the one I use now, and I have a "Pre-War" computer :D
[18:49] <SuperHiggins> it was an old pentium 4 desktop with 2 gigs of DDR1 memory. my new setup is much faster luckily
[18:49] <rafaellaguna> mine is an AMD K8 (like a Pentium 5) so it's cousin of yours
[18:50] <SuperHiggins> oh wow. i guess it could have handled it then
[18:50] <rafaellaguna> yes, it does ;)
[18:50] <rafaellaguna> I also use Compton, a composite manager for fancy shadows
[18:50] <SuperHiggins> oh neat!
[19:07] <SuperHiggins> dang... i followed the instructions on the guide you sent, but sadly it didn't work
[19:07] <rafaellaguna> try using a livecd to setup a desktop
[19:08] <rafaellaguna> sorry, the network thing is beyond my skills :(
[19:08] <SuperHiggins> uhh ther's a live usb right?
[19:08] <SuperHiggins> no worries
[19:08] <rafaellaguna> Lubuntu is the only ISO of Ubuntu that fits on a CD. You can use both, CD or USB
[19:08] <rafaellaguna> http://lubuntu.net ;)
[19:10] <SuperHiggins> probably not possible, but ill ask anyways, can one upgrade a 32-bit lubuntu to become a 64-bit install? i'm pulling at any straws that allow me to avoid setting everything up again haha, but it's probably inevitable
[19:11] <rafaellaguna> I tried and it's not possible, it's not an upgrade, it's about changing the "nature" of programs and kernel
[19:11] <rafaellaguna> better you substitue it
[19:13] <SuperHiggins> dang... maybe i should just suck it up and reinstall, would probably solve my current network issues anyways. just not looking forward to re-configuring the teamspeak server and my web server, but it'll definitely run better on a 64-bit machine
[19:14] <rafaellaguna> if you have a separate home partition it (new setup) won't affect your data
[19:14] <SuperHiggins> hmm
[19:15] <SuperHiggins> ill try out a 64-bit live USB then.
[19:15] <rafaellaguna> also, if computer has 3gb ram or more, it'll work better
[19:15] <SuperHiggins> yeah, this one has 8
[19:15] <rafaellaguna> like mine, use 64bit
[19:16] <SuperHiggins> i went a bit overkill with the machine haha, it's a 6-core FX processor too XD
[19:16] <rafaellaguna> you can use either http://lubuntublog.blogspot.com
[19:16] <rafaellaguna> god, that's a good machine
[19:17] <SuperHiggins> the plan is for it to be a multi-purpose server so I decided to sink a bit of cash into it
[19:17] <rafaellaguna> good decision, but there're plenty utilities to manager servers in a graphic way, there's no need to "pain" ;)
[19:19] <SuperHiggins> yeah that's true, though i do quite a bit of server management away from my machine, using SSH
[19:21] <SuperHiggins> how much space does lubuntu take up approximately? i've only got a 250 gb hdd in there
[19:21] <SuperHiggins> im assuming not a lot since the actual iso is tiny
[19:23] <rafaellaguna> hmm, I'm  not sure you'll have enough, Lubuntu uses near 2gb :D
[19:23] <rafaellaguna> and 300mb ram
[19:23] <SuperHiggins> oh gee, that's cutting it pretty close XD
[19:23] <rafaellaguna> LOL
[19:41] <SuperHiggins> uh oh :S i'm getting a disk read error for the usb boot :S oh joy D:
[19:42] <phillw> SuperHiggins: you can create a new home partition, and then do a re-install. It's not pretty, but it's quite achievable.
[19:43] <SuperHiggins> is the disk read error being caused by the hard drive or the USB? cuz i just want to wipe the partition clean and re-install lubuntu from scratch
[19:43] <phillw> usb boots are pretty broken atm. try either Please use the OBI installer  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OBI or the 9w installer at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/9w
[19:46] <SuperHiggins> oh okay
[19:46] <SuperHiggins> which would you recommend?
[19:48] <phillw> SuperHiggins: both of those are supported by the same person. Have a read of both and choose :)
[19:50] <phillw> the installer team only say to use dd now, I think the (U)EFI support stuff has broken what used to work. OBI and 9w are tested by lubuntu testers, so even though they are community - they are known to work :)
[19:51] <SuperHiggins> well, OBI makes a bit more sense from what i've read, but I'm still not entirely sure how to go about this for a 64-bit lubuntu install :S
[19:51] <SuperHiggins> sadly i do not have a disk drive in this computer, that would solve all my problems :S
[19:56] <phillw> SuperHiggins: I need to get nio to add a 64bit ISO for you (and others).
[19:58] <phillw> we've been busy on a non-pae kernel for 14.04... other stuff keeps getting added :)
[19:59] <SuperHiggins> oh okay :S um so what would you suggest i do for the time being?
[21:02] <pmatulis> anyone running trusty notice the screen locking when it did not before?  might be a screensave thing gone wild (preferences do not show screen locking) or maybe it's something else
